A VALUABLE contribution to the statis-
tics Of convict labor. from the national
labor bureau, has just been completed
and will soon issue from the government
printing office. The report will present
an elaborate review of the subject, bring.
ing the record of facts down to the close
of 1885. In that year it is shown there
were $4,000 persons in the prisons of the
United States engaged in civic labor.
The average value of their productions
amounting to S46,OOO,OOO. The goods
most produced were boots and shoes,
over $1O,OOO,OOO worth having been made
in that year. Hardware ranks next. and
after that the largest items are stoves,
brushes. brooms and clothing. An his
torical discussion of the various systems
of convict labor from the earliest times
down to the present will be annexed to
the report. The abolition of all systems
of convict labor is recommended, and If
this be not done the state account sys-
tenn is referred to as the least objectiona-
die. The report is the result of the first
investigation of the kind ever carried on
by the government.

Showing a Better Disposition.

A dispatch from Ottawa, the capital of
the Dominion, reports that the COR
respondence in the fisheries controversy
has been laid before parliament. All
the information it contains of interest to
Americans was communicated to con-
gress by Secretary Bayard. The COM
munications that passed between the Do
minion authorities and those of the i'm
perial government are of minor conse-
quence, or perhaps none at all, to the
people of this country. The fact is
stated that the officers in command of
the fisheries protection vessels have been
instructed to grant the largest liberty
compatible with the protection of
Canadian interests to United States fish
ing vessels in obtaining shelter, repairs,
wood and water. There is evidence IN
this of a better disposition.
The proposition of Lord Salisbury, that
the two countries should return to the
old arrangement, emitting the
compensation that was required
of the United States, ap-
pears to be regarded in Canada rs most
generous concession that ought to at
once silence all complaint on the part of
this country. 1t is not apparent that that
is largely the feeling here. The United
States government has not been in quest
of concessions; it has simply been seek
ing international and treaty rights. The
passion into which certain papers of the
Dominion have worked themselves over
this proposition they might have spared
themselves in view of the extreme i'm
probability Of this country giving any
serious consideration to the assumed lib.
eral arrangement proposed by the Brit
ish premier. Even did the proposition
appear to this country to be as generous
as the Canadians affect to regard it, there
would be little disposition here to accept
it If it was offensive to any considerable
party in the Dominion. An agreement
entered into under such circumstances
could not be made to work salts
factorily. There is, however, large
element of the Canadian people
who judiciously believe that it is wise to
meet this country in an amicable spirit
and make as good bargain as they can.
If this element were in the majority it is
not questionable that this difference
could be easily and speedily adjusted.
But as yet the hot heads constitute the
larger party, though there is reason to
believe they are losing ground. The
| question of losses and benefits concerns
the Canadian people chiefly, and they
must determine it for themselves. The
government of the United States has NO
new propositions to make and no con.
| In AfTa 70 koa
proclaimed and Its policy defined. II
has determined to secure its just de-
mands or stop intercourse with people
who refuse them. We can afford to ia ke
the consequences. There are indica
tons of q better disposition growing in
the Dominion that may result IN obvi
ating the last resort Of the American
government for the protection OF the
rights of its citizens involved IN thii
controversy.

THE sentiment that prompted the peo-
pie Of San Francisco to petition the Sec
retary of the navy not to sell the ship
Hartford, made famous by Farragut, is
doubtless entirely commendable, but
they are hardly to be commended for
getting "hot" because the secretary was
not touched by their sentiment and there
tore took purely practical view of the
matter. His duty is too plain to be ques-
toned. The Hartford is valueless to the
government. and in such cases the secre-
tary of the navy is required to dispose of
a vessel by sale. Such vessels do not i'm
prove with age, and the sooner they can
be disposed of after being condemne d
the better it will be for the government.
This is undoubtedly the view of the secre-
tary of the navy, whose business it is to
consider what will be for the best in
terests of the government. 1t is prac-
tical matter purely, and spiteful filings at
the secretary's patriotism are childish.
If the people of San Francisco want the
Hartford preserved as a memorial let
them buy her.

They Would Pass.

The country will approve Judge Cooley's
ruling that the railroad companies may give
passes to sisters of charity, under the clause
which gives the companies permission to
grant passes to ministers of religion. If
sisters of charity are not real ministers of re-
ligion there are none in the word. They
wear out their lives with no reward in this
world except hard fare and poor clothing and
such peace as their work brings to them. If
the true minister of religion is one who de-
votes his or her life, without reward to the
service of afflicted humanity then surely
sisters of charity are such ministers.

BETTER Than n Boom.

A communication from Mr.. f. T. Test,
n citizen of Omaha, in the Chicago 1r'-
bune of Tuesday, deprecates the practice
of including this city among those places
which are having BOOM" as mislead-
ing with respect to the real nature of the
rapidly advancing growth snd prosper
ity of Omaha. Says the writer OF the
$50 far as Omaha is
concerned there is no boom here. On
the contrary it is nothing but legitimate
growth" He states tho familiar fact
that the rush of immigration into Ne
braska is enormous, probably unparal-
leled in the history OF any state, justify
ing the expectation that the next national
census will give Nebraska between 1,5oO,-
600 and 1000, 600 inhabitants. Omaha is
receiving its share Of this rapid growth
of population, while as the metropolis OF
an extensive region it is having steadily
expanding market that keeps every
department Of business in rigorous
activity. II the proportion of the city's
population to that of the state should be
maintained at about 1 to 10, as it usu-
ally has been, Omaha could, with entire
safety, count upon 10000 inhabitants in
1890, and it is by no means an over-san-
guine estimate that the city will have at
that time at least 10000 people. The
percentage of growth in the financial
and commercial business of Omaha up to
that period will undoubtedly be very
much greater.
The foundations of Omaha's growth
and prosperity are permanent. All the
conditions that have made the city what
it is and are now contributing to its ad-
vancement, are lasting and progressive.
There is q vast country tributary to 1T
capable of sustaining millions of popula-
ton whose people are now counted
by thousands. A great part of
this country is among the
most inviting to the settler on the con.
tinent, and will continue to be sought
for many years to come by the indus
trous and thrifty people who leave the
overcrowded east for the larger oppor-
tunities of the west, and by those who
come from other lands to create homes
in this country. Were Omaha dependent
for its future upon Nebraska alone 1t
one of the larger cities of the country,
though less rapidly, but it is now. and IN
the future is still more to be, the metro.
polls not merely of single state, but of
region embracing several states and
from which others will be created.
Having its foundations firmly laid. and
with all the conditions at hand by which
great cities are made and maintained,
Omaha's progress is purely legitimate,
and cannot justly be enumerated
with what are commonly termed
"booms," in many cases the work
of spectators or the result of some
superficial or temporary conditions. We
have heretofore shown that the assump
tion that real estate prices in Omaha are
exorbitant Is not justified by com
parison with other cities, even those ot
less population and business, and with
fewer of the solid and permanent condi
tions to prosperity. We think no one
who will acauaint himself with the rea
position of Omaha as the necessary me
tropolis of great and growing country
can doubt that it still offers to capital the
assurance of profitable investment.
